I do not host a lot of events but the few I have it has been like pulling teeth to get the attendants to RSVP. I usually end up calling everyone and double checking to see if they will be making it, which is rather time consuming.
Ashley,
It can be time consuming, some of the other comments left have some good ideas. Check them out…
I overcome the struggle by sending the RSVP right away so I don’t forget!
The quotes you post on IG are so helpful and often timely in my creative journey. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for letting me know that they help you. That’s my goal. 🙂
I send RSVP’s as soon as I am organized enough to have a date set in stone…I also use Social Media to remind others.
I have a fee involved so that I know
Jennifer,
How does that work? You charge people to come to your event?
I try to make it easy by offering a text reply. Sometimes people will do that before they will call.
Deana,
That’s a great idea! It probably saves both you and them some time. Do you text the people who haven’t responded to get their RSVP or just assume they are not available to attend?
I don’t really host a lot of events, but I send out invites early and usually send text reminders.
When it has come to RSVPs with my kid’s parties, yes, I used to struggle. However, I learned that if I wrote that any siblings were welcome, too, it improved. I think that there will always be stragglers, but I vow to not be one of those myself. 🙂
If my family plans on attending the event, I always RSVP right away and mark our calendars on the kitchen wall and on our devices Thanks for the great giveaway! I love many items on Esty
Personally contacting people seems to work best as well as sending out invites.. But following up with a message or call.
I try to obtain RSVPs in multiple formats — email, text, social media, etc. Most people have a preferred method and one method doesn’t work for all.
I agree Marnie – multiple formats for the invitations and the RSVP responses seems to work best in our day and age. Thanks for commenting!
I would have to say – all of the time. We usually make a courtesy call or send a follow-up letter
I also find it useful to use all social media to reach out to people!
I usually like to follow up with everyone I haven’t heard from about a week before the event to get a more definite number about the guest list!
I organize a lot of events but I don’t have to deal with the invites or rsvps thank god lol the customers usually take care of that detail .
